Just took my carry class Saturday and need to start the process of getting the permit. I wanted to know if the lifetime was worth the money and what I would need to do for classes if I did get the lifetime.
Lifetime permit holders are required to complete refresher training every five years as required by LRS 40:1379.3.(V)(4).
Yes you still have to take the class every five years.But if I get the lifetime do I have to do anymore classes while I have the permit?
Getting a New Hampshire out of state CCW permit is easier, cheaper, and honored in LA.

I see an upcoming price war for CCW permits in the run up to national reciprocity. Also, I believe lifetime LA permits become invalid if you move out of state.

OP, there is no advantage to getting the lifetime permit, and if anyone says there is, they are an idiot.
In Louisiana, as of March 9th, 2015, you can use your LA CHP in lieu of the NICS background check, ONLY if you have a 5 year permit. Lifetime permit holders can not use this method.
If you're a LA resident, you must have a LA CHP.
It is Not Legal for a Louisiana resident to carry concealed in Louisiana without a Louisiana Concealed Carry Permit.
I think this about covers the answer.
Also, just a note, I strongly encourage everyone to be taking classes as frequently as $ allows that will help you hone your skills. The CHP class every 5 years is not enough.
